I did... but lo! It arrived today. I've already formatted it. Now I'm jsut worried about heating, since I now have 7 drives (3 HDD, 2 CD/DVD, 1 floppy, and 1 multi card reader/writer with USB).
Hopefully 400W is enough power.

its boarderline, you might want to get a bigger 1 if your system becomes unstable.
in my old computer, my hard drives are well cooled, the primary has a 3.5" by 5" flat sided heatsink pasted to the top of it, on top of being in a front fan 5.25" drive bay cooler. that thing seems to stay really cold. then the secondary storage drive has a rather crap bottom mounted fan system on it, but it does the job.
i really need to get something for my new PC, however, finding somewhere to put the hard drive was a hard enough job, because the GF7950GX2 is massive, and blocks 2 of my hard drive bays. well, i can still get hard drives in there, but there isn't a lage enough gap for the cables.
